Canyon Ultimate CF SL BB86 Adapter options

[probertsqbe]

I am just about order the Canyon Ultimate CF SL 2016 MY,  once Caynon confirm the sponsorship prices for the new models, as I have a race license.

I have been planning out the build for this bike and noticed that the bottom bracket is Shimano ( I'll be using DA9000 crankset) Pressfit BB86. I've had bad experience with BB30 bottom brackets in the past creaking and successfully used the Praxisworks adapter. I had assumed I could use a similar adapter from Praxisworks for the BB86 however, Praxisworks only support PF30,B30 and Specialised OSBB standards. 

The only option I can find is the new Enduro Torqtite. http://endurobearings.com/technology/torqtite/

What are other owners views?
Do you have creaking issues with PF86? If so what solutions have you used?
What adapter options are available besides the new Enduro? I am looking for threaded options like the Praxisworks.

Thanks for the advice.

Or you can try wishbone bb86 adapter?

Canyon, Giant Scott and countless others use the shimano PF86 bottom bracket.
There's nothing up with it. Its not a conversion and i've got 2 bikes with the same BB and both are as quiet as a mouse.

I have a De Rosa with a BB86 bottom bracket that has Campagnolo BB cups pressed in.
When I first got the bke after a few rides it started creaking like hell. I took it back to the mechanic that built the bike and he removed the cups then re-installed them after applying some Loctite 609 retaining compound. Solved.

I have an Ultimate CF SLX with a cyclingceramic 41/30 BB (just released). After almost 3000km, there is still no creaking at all and the smoothness is incredible. It's even better than the Sram XX ceramic of my MTB. I would not go back to a threaded BB or a steel BB. A good ceramic BB handmade in Europe worth it for bikes above $3000.
That's a shame to build high end bikes with BB whose the cost is less than $5... but it's a detail that people don't watch in a bike shop or through Internet, prefering checking wheels and transmission.

Putting a Shimano crank in a BB30 shell is an altogether different proposition to putting one into a BB86 bottom bracket. BB30 shells are really meant for BB30 cranks.

Here are 2 links where you can check the super smoothness of my BB86 with Rotor Inpower:

I precise that the bearings have about 2500km and have never been serviced. They have inside a large quantity of grease and they are good to work in super rainy conditions.
I could remove the grease and make the smootness more spectacular, but I thing that the gain would not be sensitive in terms of watts.
